Denver Post Selects NewsGator Widgets to Extend Its Brand & Expand Ad Revenue Opportunities

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - February 25, 2008) - NewsGator Technologies, Inc. today announced that the Denver Post has selected NewsGator's widget services to virally distribute its sports, political and breaking news across the Web. With these widgets, Denver Post will extend its brand and drive ad revenue by engaging readers with social interaction features and enabling readers to port news to their favorite Web sites.

The Denver Post has deployed three widgets using NewsGator's services: All Things Broncos, dedicated to news and information about the Denver Broncos football team; Politics West, for political updates from Colorado; and Breaking News, providing constantly updated news from Denver and the rest of Colorado. Each widget contains the latest relevant stories, continuously updated from the Denver Post and other sources, as well as social interaction features like rating, commenting and e-mailing to friends. Additionally, with one click, readers can add these widgets to their favorite networking and personalized Web sites such as NetVibes, Facebook, iGoogle and PageFlakes.

With its widgets, Denver Post can syndicate branded content across the Web and increase readers' engagement with its content. This expanded reach and greater user interaction can be tracked using NewsGator's extensive reporting capabilities, enabling Denver Post to drive additional ad revenue through higher click-through rates and increased page views.

"We are always looking for ways to use the Web to increase our readership and get our content in front of as many people as possible," said Mark Cardwell, managing editor, digital media & strategic development of the Denver Post. "NewsGator's widget services help us spread our content virally by giving people a useful, fun tool that encourages interaction and drives traffic to our site. The end result is an increase in traffic, a more engaged and interested readership and ultimately, better ad revenue."

"The way audiences are interacting with print and online media companies is changing, and as a consequence, the requirement to deliver portable, viral content so that as many people as possible will see the content and the brand in places other than that company's Web site is critical," said Jeff Nolan, vice president, NewsGator Software-as-a-Service. "The Denver Post is doing just that, giving its most popular content legs, so that readers can see it, interact around it and take it with them, creating a user-driven experience around its news. This portability drives not only readership, but gives the Denver Post extended reach and better monetization of its Web properties."
